That week on Smackdown, the tag champs would be forced to put up their newly won tag team titles on the line against the big three teams in the business at the time, Edge and Christian, the Hardys and the Dudleyz. As if that wasn’t hard enough, but they would defend the titles against those teams in a match that would usually be saved for the bright lights on pay per view, a TLC match. Unfortunately for Y2J and the Rabid Wolverine, as the bell sounded they were the targets of their opponents, with all six other men in the first ever four-team tables, ladders and chairs match, going straight for them in a flurry of fists and kicks before turning on each other when Edge and Christian sneakily tried to go for the win.

The introduction of the ladder to the ring resulted in an incapacitated Jeff Hardy when Bubba Ray Dudley threw the ladder at the death defying superstar whilst he was in mid-air, about to nail one half of the Dudleys with a Whisper in the Wind. Soon enough Benoit and Jericho would enter the ring, bringing another ladder into the mix and clearing house, almost taking their opponents’ heads off in the process. After another Edge and Christian invasion and attempt at a quick victory, the four teams were at it once again, bringing tables into the equation. This led to Benoit flying off the top rope in an attempt to crash Matt Hardy through a table, only for Hardy to abandon his position on the table, leaving Benoit to sail straight through the wood and onto the floor. The tag team champions were one man down as Benoit was carried out of the arena on a stretcher, leaving Jericho to fend for himself and not only did he do that, but in a remarkable way as he caught an opportunistic Edge ascending the ladder towards the title belts and locked him in the Walls of Jericho, across two ladders 15 feet above the ring.
